hi guys. Well i know this is a random topic but we just aquired a cute little kitten this morning. My friend found 2 of them at the river New Years day - prob dumped there cruel aye as they were only about 3-4 weeks old then. Anyway i have taken the girl and cannot for the life think of a name. Our last cat went missing in Nov due to neighbours having a huge party and she freaked and took off but it took me months to name her.
So if anyones got any creative names for a dark and light grey striped girl cat please share. Thanks ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

how about storm. Or how about river to relate to where she was found.
Or grey in different language spanish, oscuro Italin, grigio Our cats name is miles (because he looks like he is wearing a dinner suit, dont ask my husband named him. Lucky i got to name the kids aye.) But anyway miles just gets called kitty and its a pretty good name :) ------------- Jayde 25/12/04 Alyssa 08/04/03 http://Alyayde.bebo.com |

Now I'm all confused as to whether its a boy or girl. My friend whom I got it off said its a girl but I never checked and compared with the other one that she said was a boy. So i called into the vets when I was up town and that just confused me more once I got home to have a look. Might have to actually take it down to the vet to get confirmation so naming it will be on hold until then. I am really thinking its a boy after checking but then what do I know I'm not a vet!!!! ------------- Marlene Keegan ~ 14 October 2003 Jaidyn ~ 14 October 2003 |

I like my mum's pet names. She has a cat named Wanda (short for 'A fish called Wanda') and her two goldfish are named Bounce and Fluffy.
Her cat is a dipstick though. Let's hope your cat doesn't do the stupid things that Blonda does. (That's what her name has evolved into as we think she may have been a blonde in a previous life) |

| How horrible though that people just dump cats. We had four cats, a dog, two rabbits and a bird when I was in taumarunui - as well as two swallows. We lived next to the river and often came across bags of animals. Ick ick ick. |

our goldie is called 'clyde' and when we got him we were planning to get another one when he was 2 and call her 'bonnie'.
but alas, we are have started TTC#2 so it will be a LONG time before clyde can have his bonnie 
maybe when the kids are at school hopefully. there's some pics of clyde in the 'dogs' thread if anyone wants to see him....i just love to show him off ------------- http://www.alternatickers.com">

Ooooh, I forgot to mention that I recycled the Trevor name to my guinea pig. Trevor the cat was tragically run over whilst still a kitten so I felt the name hadnt been used enough, so named Trevor the GP. The name must be jinxed cos he ran away/died (the official story from my hubby was that he ran away while I was away for a week, but I dont know??) So I will not be naming another animal Trevor! ------------- Aimee Hannah 22/10/05 Greer 11/02/08 |

Oh, just remembered an icky cat story.
I used to work at the TAB and one day this guy...can't remember his name Rickard? came in a bit upset. I asked him if he was okay, and he said no he'd had a big fight with his girlfriend. Anyway, they'd been house-sitting for some family friends. they had two cats. the cats got fed each night in the garage, so Richard locked up the garage and put out the catfood. He called the cats but only one came. He thought nothing of it and went to bed. The next day he noticed that the garage door was slightly ajar and thought maybe someone had tried to break in. he went to investigate to find that as he had locked the door, the second cat had tried to get, INdiana Jones style, but had lost! So it was squished under the door. So he buried it. he told his girlfriend and she was really upset. Two days later, the family came home. he wanted to spare his girlfriend the embarressment of telling them so walked in and explained that the cat had ran away and they hadn't seen it in a week. the family looked horrified and the girlfriend said she'd just told them the truth about what had happened. they were disgusted that he would lie about something like that and spent two hours yelling at him, and showing him photos of the cat "growing up". Afterwards he had it out with his girlfriend and she dumped him for being callous. I thought it was hugely funny and giggled about it....well, it's six years later andi still do |

Well my cat Scrappy (passed away this year at a grand old age of 18!) got her name because I REAAAAAALLY wanted a dog to name after Scrappy Doo (you know Scoobys cool nephew, hehehehe I was 8 give me a break)but our cat had other plans and decided to have her kittens under my blankets in my bed and I found them by putting my feet in to go to sleep  icky... anyway, with so many kittens I had to have a cat instead of a dog so just called her Scrappy....
Man that is a long and boring story... sorry ------------- http://lilypie.com">
